Now the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country,
and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land
that I will shew thee;
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.—Genesis
12, Vs. 1-2.
A New York writer sent his daughter to the World’s Fair
and asked that she comment on what she saw. With all the won
derful things to be seen there, among her lasting impressions
were the cows and the electrical equipment used in milking the
cows. She fondled a little calf and expressed a wish to own one,
hoping it would follow her around like a dog . . . She spoke of the
fact that some complained that the milking process was not con
tinual . . . All of which shows that New Yorkers do not know so
much about cows ... This is the city people. New’ York as a State
ranks 11th in number of cattle owned Georgia as a State is too
far dowm to mention.
“Gone With the Wind” has been translated into sixteen for
eign languages . . . Rather it will be sixteen when three more
translations are complete . . . 150,000 have been sold in Germany,
140,000 in Japan, and 12,000 in France. The picture of the same
name is soon to be shown and doubtless will attract more people
than any picture of recent years . . . This picture will put the State
of Georgia in the limelight more than anything else that has been
done in years . . . The hardships of the South under the Recon
struction period will be better understood than ever before. Mrs.
Mitchell the writer, studied carefully all records and the historical
facts as given are correct.
The recent death of a woman in Kansas recalls to us that
after all we are not far removed from the stirring events of fron
tier life in the West. This woman, Mrs. Sarah Brooks, of Con-:
cordia. Kansas, was the central character in one of the most ro-)
mantic episodes of that state. For her the State of Kansas raised i
an army . . . And for her the Governor resigned that he too might
go with the army and he spent two years campaigning in the
wilderness . . . Mrs. Brooks was one of two girls captured by the
Cheyenne Indians in 1868. She was then Sarah White and 18
years old.
Governor Crawford sought and received permission to raise
a regiment of Cavalry. He resigned as Governor and took com
mand of the regiment.
They joined Gen. George A. Custer and eventually cornered
the Indians. They seized some Chiefs as hostages for the safe
return of the two girls and their rescue was achiexed. One of the
girls, Mrs. Morgan, died a few years after, but Mrs. Brooks lived
to rear and see Kansas become a great state, secure in its civiliza
tion.
Text books of today do not have the same stories and poems
as the text books of the past .. . All boys and girls of the long ago
school days were familiar with the poem, Cas abianca, the “Boy,
who stood on the burning deck, whence all be he had fled” . .
In the poem the boy was referred to as a “Creature of heroic
blood.” Recently a child study association meeting was informed
that this boy was a “Moron, without sense enough to respond to
a new situation.” . . . Which must be true and quite in contrast
to what a modern boy scout would do . . .
Another thrilling poem in the old reading books told of a
shipwreck . . . “It was midnight on the waters, and a storm was
on the deep.” Also in this same poem the lines, “We are lost, the
Captain shouted, as he staggered down the stairs” ... The conduct
of a modern Sea Captain would be far different ... In the first
place he would not “Stagger,” at least while on duty . . . Under no
circumstances would he shout, “We are lost.” He would appar
ently, not matter what his feelings, be the calmest person on !
board ... and according to the Law of the Sea, be the last to leave I
his ship .. . and perhaps go down with it..
Many NeMembatanta With Anny
No army is believed to have been
accompanied into battle by aa many
noncombatants as a certain military
legion of Bengal, India, in 1859. It
consisted of 100,000 individuals, says
Collier’s Weekly, 85,000 of whom
were erives, children, laundresses,
valeUt, porters, hostler*- and sutlers
Chemical Elements in Soil
At least 64 chemical elements are
present in soil and 58 of these have
been found in plants, says a United
States chemist.

*Ole Bull's Folly-
Ole Bornemann Bull (1810-80) Nor
wegian violin virtuoso, was the most
famous bearer of the name Ole. He
financed a Norwegian colonv in
Pennsylvania, but it failed, and the
castle he built there came to be
called "Ole Bull’s Folly.” His play
ing won him great renown

A Georgia Industry Doing Great Work
LOCATED IN ALBANY—GIVES
BETTER SERVICE TO FARMERS
The first thing noticed in the plant
of the Lilliston Implement Company,
is the cleanliness and orderly manner
that everything is kept in place
doing such an enormous amount of
work in the foundry, machine shop,
welding and paint departments.
The Lilliston Implement Company
is located in Albany, Georgia, right
in our own locality and is easily ac
cessible to the needs of the farmers
for service and the furnishing of
parts and repairs to farm machinery,
promptly, efficiently and at low cost.
It is an industry that is doing a
business of making farm machinery,
from iron, right here in Southwest
Georgia, which enables the farmer to
avoid high freight rates of iron prod
ucts that were heretofore made and
shipped from the North.
The Lilliston Implement Company
covers twelve acres and the buildings
of the plant cover four acres, which
is conveniently located, for loading
and unloading on the Central of Geor
gia Railway.
The Lilliston Peanut Picker is the ,
latest and most up to date picker you
will find; it is a picker and not a
thresher, and therefore does not beat
and crack the peanuts when taking off
the vine.
Speaking from experience, this
writer will say that if you desire U. S.
No. 1 peanut grade, you are taking
no chances in using the Lilliston
Picker.
The Lilliston Picker has an in-1
creased capacity, and yet, picks pea-1
Miss Miller Sees Santos And
Sao Paulo
Continued from Front Page.
200 reis (1,000 reis equal a milrei,
so the fare was one cent in U. S.
money) and we thought we’d have to
sit on somebody’s lap surely. Men
hang on the outside, jump off while
it’s running, or any way.
Santos has something over 100,000
inhabitants and I grew to like it. We
may as well for we will be there
from two to four days on the return.
And I’ve heard we may not get to stop
at Rio again and that’s breaking my
heart. Rio still is next door to
heaven for me. Santos has a beau
tiful beach and very fine hotels on
the beach—some very nice homes too.
As for the people, I haven’t been ex
cited over anybody I’ve seen here so
far. They all have the appearance of
doubtful lineage.
Santos is the greatest coffee ex
porting center in the world, I under
stand, but I didn’t see a sack of cof
fee. We docked Tuesday about 9
o’clock and started loading bananas
to take to Buenos Aires. Stevedores
worked all day Tuesday, all night, and
we didn’t get going till 11:00 o’clock
Wednesday. We still have a pile of
bananas on top of our hatch on the
bow—greener than gourds. If it rains
on them I guess it doesn't matter.
When we return to Santos we take on
coffee, and if we fill up at Santos
we can’t stop at Rio.
And now we are freezing—not too
cold, but I definitely know it’s win
ter. No deck sports now—l have no
desire to get out at. all. I’m anxious
for the heat to be turned on.
We are getting one break; we are
going to get to Montevideo, Uruguay,
Saturday P. M. and spend Sunday
there. We had expected only six
hours. lam delighted.
The Astri now seems like home to
me. It delights me to think that the
trip isn’t half over yet. I feel as if
I were born on this boat The food
still is wonderful—none ashore can
compare with it.
I shall write again, either from Bue
nos Aires (Argentina) or the first
stop enroute home.
(And so ends Miss Miller’s south
bound visit to Brazil (officially the
United States of Brazil), consisting
of twenty states and occupying nearly
one-half of the continent of South
America. Brazil’s area of 3,275,510
square miles exceeds that the United
States of America (not including ter

THE LILLISTON PEANUT PICKER
,nuts off the vines cleaner under all
conditions, it has a self-feed that only
I requires two men, with pitch forks,
t! to feed the machine from the ground.
/It is lighter weight, yet .stronger in
* i construction and easier to move from
> place to place; it has fewer wearing
: । parts, and a sheet steel picking screen.
, J It has ball bearings and roller bear
| ings and these bearings are dirt
proof. It has alemite fittings through
; out for lubrication and all transmis
sion drives are adjustable.
This Picker is designed on me
chanically correct principles and is a
' thoroughly durable machine for con
tinuous service and hard work.
I The improved Lilliston Baler shows
’ in itself the untiring efforts of the
Company to give to the farmers a
baler of simple operation, equipped
with roller bearings throughout, giv
ing longer life and less power to
operate.
This baler with a self feed can be
operated in connection with any pea
nut picker, or with a separate power
unit. It is of all metal construction.
The farmer is always desirous of sav
ing money and if they will visit the
' Lilliston Plant ,they will find one of
the greatest time savers in one of
the one-horse cultivators. This cul
tivator has a new spring-trip foot
and a spring-tooth harrow attach
ment, either six or eight tooth harrow
available with Lilliston cultivators.
Not only the farmers, but all of
the people of Georgia should be proud
of the fact that a plant of this kind

! state and that this company uses
Alaska and Hawaii) by some 250,000
square miles.
(Brazil was a Portuguese settle
ment from its discovery by Pedro
Cabral (mentioned in a previous re
port by Miss Miller) in 1500 until it
was declared a kingdom in 1815. In
1822, Dom Pedro, eldest surviving son
of John VI of Portugal, proclaimed its
independence and was chosen em
peror. On November 15, 1889, Dom
Pedro II was dethroned following a
revolution and Brazil became a re
public.
(Brazil today has approximately
one-third as large a population as our
128,000,000.
(Miss Miller’s report in last week’s
issue pointing out the current trend
in Brazil's declining trade with Ger
many is supported by figures released
by the Pan-American Union which
show that for the period of January
to August, inclusive, in 1938 the Bra
zilians’ trade with Uncle Sam was
second only to the trade with Ger
many, and the trade with Great Brit
ain was a poor third, while the com
merce with Italy and Japan were
negligible. Brazil bought from the
United States in the above mentioned
period less than a thousand dollars
worth of goods more from Germany
than from us, but exported to us
eleven thousand dollars in goods more
than to Germany. If we are in a
position to buy more Brazilian prod
ucts than Germany, the result is ob
vious. Currently Brazil’s principal ex
ports are coffee, cotton, cacao, hides
and skins, meats, fruits, oilseeds,
carnauba, wax, tobacco, mate, rubber.
She buys from us mostly finished or
manufactured products.

Miller’s Travel-Letters; the Fourth

large quantities of Georgia material
and lumber in the construction of
truck bodies, trailers and agricultural
implements.
They buy from the people of Geor
gia, this lumber and material. They
give employment to numbers of peo
ple right here in Southwest Georgia,
and you farmers should remember
that while you are buying the best,
when you are using Lilliston products,
you are also patronizing a local
manufacturing industry and money
spent with this company remains in
Southwest Georgia and helps the peo
ple here. -
Go and see, for yourself, what this
great home industry of farm imple
ments that are built completely right
here in Albany, Georgia, such as 39-
tooth weeders, cultivators, stalk cut
ters, planters, harrows, distributors,
plow castings guaranteed to fit, trail
ers and truck bodies, as well as the
pickers and balers that are mentioned
before.
This writer, being a small farmer
and being interested in this large
home industry called at the plant of
the Company today and was shown
through this entire plant by Mr. Phil
lips, manager of the Company. The
management of the Lilliston Imple
ment Company extends a cordial in j
vitation to all farmers, and others in
terested, to visit the plant and see
how these farm implements are made.
The company has been giving a
barbecue in June every year since
1929 to Lilliston Dealers and the num
ber of guests have increased from
about 250 in the beginning to some
thing over 600 last year.
